My baby loves coffee and roses
A rebel stand and a poet's heart
A guilty moon and suburb soldiers
Those boys can't erase the mark

My baby breaks the chain of reason
Calls the card and rolls the dice
For everything a time and season
Turning tides and breaking ice

And I will be your last call, honey
Yeah, I will be your downfall, baby
It's strange the way the song goes, honey
We're dancing in the wrong clothes, darling

My baby sings of old tomorrows
Spider hands September eyes
And I'm the architect of sorrow
The girl in minor key disguise

My baby leads me to the water
Wraps the sun inside his coat
And while the days are getting shorter
My baby sets the light afloat

And I will be your shadow, honey
The crooked way the wind blows, baby
The singing of the steel, honey
The looser in the deal, darling

Yeah, I will be your lover, honey
Come break me under cover, baby
The razor on the mirror, honey
The way the smoke will clear, darling

My baby loves coffee and roses
Hold the flower brown and red
The lost companion autumn shows us
My baby will not turn his head
My baby will not turn his head
My baby will not turn his head
